Description: | Two small copper-alloy 'spangles' on a ring. Both spangles are identical; they are made from thin sheet, 12 mm wide at the base and tapering to a rounded top. They are both 19 mm long and neither is decorated on either face. Each one has a circular perforation 3 mm in diameter at the top, and they are linked by a 9 mm diameter ring made from copper-alloy wire. The wire has a cross-section of about 1.5 mm diameter, and the ends are butted together. Spangles had a variety of uses; they were worn at the top of pins, or on buckets, or on the ends of necklaces. They are early Anglo-Saxon and date to the fifth or sixth centuries AD. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 410
